Here we are! The switch between the 2024 and 2025 seasons will take place this week and more precisely during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. While waiting for the resumption of road races which will not be long in January, particularly on the other side of the globe and Australia, cyclo-cross remains on the agenda with no less than five events in one week! Two races of Super prestigetwo of X²O Bathrooms Trophyand to conclude in style on Sunday the 9th round of the Cyclo-cross World Cup in Dendermonde (Belgium), which will be the scene of the second duel of the winter between Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) et Wout Van Aert (Visma | Lease a Bike). Will the Belgian be able to break the invincibility of his Dutch rival, who could then seek an 8th victory in as many races if he continues his momentum this week? Finally, the track will also be in the spotlight with the 2025 French Championshipswhich will take place from January 3 to 5 at the Bretagne velodrome in Loudéac, in Côtes-d'Armor.
